October 13, 200618 yr which period?.... the beatles transcended many styles of music. indeed leading the way from their dodgy rock n roll wannabes in the late 50's early 60's, through the beat boom, through the mid 'innovation' period through psycedelia and out the other end... i prefer their mid period tbh, their early stuff was too primitive and they kinda lost their cutting edge by the late 60's. so im very sceptical when someone says they love the beatles music, as it was so different over the years .

"Revolver" is probably my fave Beatles album, short, sharp to the point.... same with "Rubber Soul"... "The White Album" is good as well, up to a point, but it's got a fair bit of chaff on it (such as "Oh Bla Di..." :puke2: ).....
October 13, 200618 yr I've only got 2 albums on my computer (Please Please Me and Magical Mystery Tour), which I lent from my brother, think he's got them all.
October 13, 200618 yr Author There 60's stuff is really the best but it depends what songs they did in what era. But i dont care if there music as ya say change over time i still love the songs if they changed or not so dont be sceptical it's just the truth i do :D Who's ya'lls fav member? ;) ----------------- http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2006/09/anastaciaEPA_228x341.jpg
October 13, 200618 yr lennon was a cultural icon, im sad that todays youth dont really understand the impact this bloke had........ i think 'revolver' was the best, magical mystery tour was good but by then and sgt pepper they were losing it.... imho... although sgt pepper is cited as the defining album of the 60's. the love songs on the earlier 'hard days night', 'help' were again imho some of the best pop/love songs ever written... 'i need you', 'tell me what you see', 'i should have known better', 'and i love her', 'if i fell', .....
October 13, 200618 yr I'm a Macca fan - as I'm a sucker for a killer melody. He was the most prolific songwriter in the group & the most accomplished musician ahead of the more mercurial, Messianic Lennon. Besides Paul never came up with anything as dire as Revolution#9 or Where's The New Mary Jane? IMHO. I think their greatest album is Abbey Road (exclude Macca's whimsical Maxwell Silver Hammer and it is perfection). However their greatest period is definitely 1966-1967 (Paperback Writer/Revolver through to Hello Goodbye/Magical Mystery Tour). As a unit their first musical recording session for EMI was on September 11th 1962 & their final recording session was on January 4th 1970. Less than 7 years & 3 months = which is already less than the amount of time that "Fecksh!te" have been going!
October 13, 200618 yr my main gripe with macca is the way he got really dull and soppy as he aged, to me since the mid 70's macca has been an embarrassment which has tainted his earlier, better work.
October 13, 200618 yr my main gripe with macca is the way he got really dull and soppy as he aged, to me since the mid 70's macca has been an embarrassment which has tainted his earlier, better work. Wings were bloody awful.... Truly excruciating... But Rob, one should never forget that "Frog Chorus" thing..... The sign of a once great song writer just totally losing it.....
October 13, 200618 yr i had that very track in mind scott, along with 'mull of kintyre' and 'figure of eight'...
October 13, 200618 yr 'mull of kintyre' and 'figure of eight'... :puke2: :puke2: Even at his WORST, Lennon never wrote anything that offensive to our ears, Thisispop can say what he wants......
October 13, 200618 yr tbh, he might have if he had lived..... 'woman' was pretty dire. unlike bowie and lydon, im not so sure lennon would have held 'cool' into middle-age.
October 13, 200618 yr Personally, Paul's low points came with a pair of saccarine duets from 1982 "Ebony & Ivory" (with Stevie Wonder) & "The Girl Is Mine" (Michael Jackson). Now they are truly abysmal. Talking of John, I take it neither of you have heard his political dirge of an album Some Time In New York City (1972). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Time_in_New_York_City Coming after his commercial high point of his trans-atlantic #1 "Imagine" album. (my fav John album is his "proper" solo album "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" from 1970 - featuring "Mother", "God", "Love", "Isolation" & "Working Class Hero" - much better than Imagine IMHO.) This album got some of the worst reviews of all-time as it limped in at US#48, while spending just six weeks in the UK album chart peaking at #11. It emphatically proved that John Lennon was no Bob Dylan when it came to overtly political songs, (in the same way as Robbie Williams has proved that he is no Frank Sinatra when it comes to Swing music). The UK Top50 misses "Woman Is The ****** Of The World" & "John Sinclair" have to be heard to be believed, and as for the rest of the album....... :( As for Rob's point regarding whether John could have recovered his cool image, you have to remember that at the age when he was assassinated (40), David Bowie released the third of his "Phil Collins" (© David Bowie 2003) albums - "Never Let Me Down" in 1987, & did the "Glass Spider Tour". While in his last interviews in December 1980, John did express an awareness and an appreciation of this New York underground "Rap" scene........ ...... so I think he could have easily recovered (especially if you have heard the "Wonsoponatime" outtake album & heard the very rockier original version of "I'm Losing You" & the vitriolic 'Scouse Punk' of "Serve Yourself"; I therefore could easily imagine him collaborating with Afrika Bambaataa in the early mid 1980s, or Public Enemy or the Beastie Boys in the late 1980s and spent the late 1990s probably praising Blur while "slating" Oasis. :lol: Still I hope the rumours are true about Eminem sampling Paul McCartney's "Oh Woman Oh Why" on his next album are true. Especially, as the lyrics are about Paul shooting & murdering his lover, because she was having an affair. Which would be interesting given his current marital strife...... But hey to most people Paul McCartney only wrote "Silly Love Songs" & no doubt most people who've heard The Beatles "Helter Skelter" assume it is a John Lennon song.
